[thelist] Question about Page Requests

In the analog config file, you define what are "pages" and everything
else isn't one.

So requests for .htm, .php, .aspx etc might be "pages", and requests
for files with any other extension are treated as "requests" but not
"page requests"

Does that help?

Since you have all of 7 requests, it would be fairly trivial to look
in the actual log file and see what was requested (as someone
mentioned, not a day goes by without someone looking for formail.pl
etc. robots.txt is another one that might not be defined as a "page").

Cheers
Ken
